Healthy Organizations: Moving to the Next Level

…where the Organization and the Individual MeetImagine an organization where people look forward to the strategic planning process and the plan goes viral within the organization; where the strategic plan has a profound effect on the bottom line; where staff take pride in being part of the team; where team building activities feel fun, relevant and lead to actionable outcomes; and where the workforce is happy, healthy, committed, and dedicated to the organization. Strategic planning and team building are more effective when the topics generate discussion and interest, where they address issues people confront every day at work, and where they can have a significant, positive impact on the workforce and an organization’s success.

Health and Wellness programs consistently offer strong returns on investment and rank high in employee and job satisfaction. The highest-ranking companies have a strong commitment to Health and Wellness. Health and Wellness initiatives in the workplace consistently result in increased productivity, decreased absenteeism, and improved morale and longevity with the company. Yet, often these programs are not fully utilized, with benefits left on the table at the end of the year.

By combining these two areas organizations find that healthier employees who feel supported engage more actively in achieving the goals of the organization, thus improving the bottom line and when health and wellness are incorporated into the fabric of the culture, the benefits are the ones that employees most want and are appropriately utilized. Achieving these benefits does not require expensive new programs, time away from work, or extra meeting times. In fact, they are most successful when they are incorporated into existing initiatives and activities and become ingrained within the corporate culture. By incorporating Health and Wellness into all aspects of a company’s culture, the healthy choice becomes the easy choice, staff are more committed to the success of the organization, and the company can break through to the next level of success.Services include:
